Iraqi Official Calls for Expulsion of Ex-Blackwater Forces
----------------------------------------------------------



Iraq’s Interior Minister says he’s ordered all guards formerly employed
by the private military firm Blackwater to leave Iraq immediately. Jawad
Bolani’s comments could lead to the expulsion of up to 250 former
Blackwater employees still in Iraq with other companies. The Associated
Press is reporting the ex-Blackwater forces have been told they have
seven days to leave Iraq or face arrest.
